Answer 1

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), also known as immotile ciliary syndrome, is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder caused by a defect in the action of the tiny hairs (cilia) lining the respiratory tract. Specifically, it is a defect in a gene coding for left-right dynein (lrd), a key structural protein in cilia.
